What makes my Monday?

As I was browsing blogs this evening, I ran across the blog of a mommy of 6 children. Her newest post was What makes my Monday?, and I am going to follow her lead, and create a way to add my favorite pictures of the week to my blog. Sooo....enjoy!

I simply CAN NOT believe Camden is almost ONE YEAR OLD!

I just can't grasp it! How is it even possible that my sweet, tiny, little, itty-bitty baby is pretty much a toddler?

The fact of the matter is that: he is a toddler, he is no longer a tiny baby, he has replaced all of those hours he used to spend asleep with active, non-stop going activity, he is learning to talk, and trying his hardest get around a bit faster day-by-day.

I'm a big kid now!

Camden went to his very first day of Mother's Day Out, today! He did very well, but refused to nap, which was no surprise to me whatsoever. He was EXHAUSTED when we picked him up, and did not even make it out of the parking lot! He is going to go on Tuesdays and Fridays.



He seemed to be in a pretty good mood, once he got that nap!





Sooo.... if you are happy and you know it clap your hands. I know Camden sure is! And I made it through the day just fine, although it did hit me like a ton of bricks as I walked out of the building without my bundle.

What a pain in the ear!

It seems Camden has yet another ear infection in his left ear, or possibly the same that he has had for sixish weeks. We are going to conquer it this time! He is not comfortable, and spends several minutes out of each hour attempting to remove his painful little ear from his head. It is his left ear that has really been the problem, but today, he is pulling on his right ear, as well! What a painful feeling it is to be his mommy, and not be able to take his pain away! I feeling I am sure to feel many, many times throughout his life, I know, but nonetheless incredibly painful!

Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Aaron, Camden, and I wish everyone a healthy, happy new year!!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

We had such an amazing Christmas, and made memories that will never be forgotten. This was Camden's first Christmas! We started the festivities on Christmas Eve, which is also my mom's birthday. We met at my parents for my mom's birthday get together, and she opened her presents from everyone followed by a delicious cake my sister made. After that, we headed to my grandmother's house to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. Camden was an angel, and got his very first taste of opening presents. It was great to get to see everyone! Later, we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Camden behaved himself, but was not too thrilled about sitting in my lap for an hour. We headed back to my mom's house to hang out with my parents, sisters, brother-in-law, and niece. It was a late night for everyone! Camden is just now getting closer to being on schedule....three days later.

All three of us had an amazing first Christmas as a family of three, and look forward to many, many Christmases together!

We had some pictures taken by a great friend of mine. Aaron and I did not have any pictures of just the two of us, and Shannon kindly fixed that. I love every, single picture, and can not thank her enough! I hope you enjoy them!
